Bumps On Lips. Taken Benadryl And Tylenol. Lips Hanging Due To Swelling?

I had restalyne yesterday in folds and slightly on upper lip. the pink area of lips not above. The outer corners of my mouth on the underside of the lip have small little bumps under the skin, and the under part hangs down slightly. Is this a result of swelling?? How long should I wait to have it reversed , if I so choose? Will diurex help with swelling? Taking benadryl and tylenol. Thanks!

hello ,
thanks for writing to us,
I would like to inform you that the bumps are sometimes as a result of filler(restalyne) being injected quite superficially, it takes 3-5 days to subside on its own. If it does not go away on its own then you can get it reversed any day, and the results will be instant.
Do not take any medicine until you have pain. Apply ice instead and massage that area not more than twice/day.
I hope this answer was useful.
take care.

Dear friend.

Thanks for sharing your concern

Hanging of the inner surface of lips is due to swelling.

you can wait and watch for two more days.but if possible you can seek your physicians help in this regard.

Hyaluronidases are enzymes that can give you faster recovery by degradation .for dosage ,duration and administration, please contact your physician.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

Take care.

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Bumps on the lips under the skin are side effects due to the use of restalyne.
Due to swelling at the corners of the mouth there is incompetent lip seal.
The swelling can be reduce by massaging over the bumps or swelling.
If, it is not helpful then injection of hyaluronidase can be given.

If the symptoms persists or worsen you can go back to the Physician and get the checkup done.

Hope this helps out.

Hello there ,

Thanks for writing your query,

Bumps on the lips is the reactionary effect of the restalyne injected in the lips .

Swelling in the lips is due to inflammatory effect on the lip mucosa which causes it to hang .
The swelling will subside by its own in 2 to 3 days .

nothing to worry about . you can wait for few days , if the symptoms do not subside in 2 to 3 days you need to consult your concerned doctor and talk to him about allergies.

Meantime you can preactice symptomatic treatment at home.
Apply oral antiseptic ,analgesic ointments like dentogel or mucogel topically over the affected area.

start with multivitamin supplements for 7 to 10 days and vitamin C lozenges will help in resolving the problem.

avoid alcohol , carbonated drinks , tobacco chewing and smoking as these may worsen the area affected.

i hope this helps ,

take care.

Hello and welcome to hcm,
The bumps are due to the restalyne injected in heavy dose.
Apply frequent ice packs to subside swelling.
Once the swelling subsides,lips will seal as usual.
Please do not take medicines until the numbness disappears.
Take medicines After consulting with your physician.
meanwhile,plenty of fluids as well as nutritious food has to be taken.
avoid biting on your lips.
Hope this helps.
